A formidable new collaboration arrives as Skrillex, Dylan Brady, and Caroline Polachek join forces on the track “hit me where it hurts x.” This release merges three distinct sonic universes into a single powerful statement. Skrillex, the American electronic producer who reshaped modern bass music with anthems like “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” brings his foundational sound.
Dylan Brady, one half of the innovative American hyperpop duo 100 gecs, contributes his signature production style known for its aggressive digital textures. Caroline Polachek, the American singer and songwriter formerly of Chairlift, provides the track’s haunting vocal centerpiece, continuing the art-pop trajectory she established with her solo album “Pang.”

The production credits list Skrillex and Brady, signaling a fusion of their respective approaches. Released through Skrillex’s OWSLA imprint in partnership with Atlantic Records, the track underscores a ongoing trend of genre-blurring collaborations between top-tier producers and singular vocalists.

Polachek’s ethereal voice, a instrument that has captivated audiences for over a decade, finds a new context against Skrillex’s mastered low-end and Brady’s chaotic precision. This single follows a period of renewed activity for Skrillex, who recently returned to the spotlight with a series of well-received releases.
For Brady and Polachek, it represents another high-profile partnership that expands their reach within the pop and electronic landscapes. The song is available now across all platforms.
